Dance with us on International Dance Day in the rhythm of staccato. In the 5Rhythms map, staccato draws from the element of fire, connecting us with the power of our innate passions. When we unite our hearts with this percussive rhythm, we reawaken our life force, the energy that animates all living creatures.

In this time of sheltering-in-place in California, and all over the world, we invite you to tend and stoke our inner fire. What passions are calling you now? What do you want to create at the edge of your comfort zone? What is forming in the embers?

"I believe we each hold a spark of the original light of creation within us. I've seen it light up people's faces and bodies when they dance.” —Gabrielle Roth, “Sweat Your Prayers”

We invite you to join us on Earth Day as we dance with the rhythm of flow. Flow in the 5Rhythms map draws from the element of earth and grounding. In this time of upheaval, connecting with the ground beneath us is essential.

​As we tap into our roots well below the surface, finding strength and an interconnected web that allows us to then branch out and expand, moving through any tension or constriction we may be holding.

We invite you to feel the earth—its calming effect and incredible support of all life—and the possibility of expansion and hope.

“Teach us to walk the soft Earth as relatives to all that live.” - Sioux prayer

Last week, we called in the beams of Libra full moon, this Wednesday, let’s call in the rays of the sun in Aries as we take each step forward, towards the light.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first Zoom class last week. Dancers from around the world joined from their home dancefloors—from Singapore, Australia, Mexico, Arizona and New York. Another visible reminder that we are part of a global community.

"Dance, and make joyous the love around you. Dance and your veils which hide the Light shall swirl in a heap at your feet." - Rumi

Sylvie's Supermoon Virtual Dance Class

Join us as we take inspiration from April's pink supermoon, the biggest and brightest full moon of 2020, which encourages surrender and letting go. Let’s dance with this moon is in Libra, the zodiac sign of balance and partnerships, letting the beams shine through us.

I love this quote by the Astro Twins,

"With this full moon shining its balancing beams into a world that feels completely out of order, can we restore equilibrium to the planet?"

It’s been 21 days since California entered into its shelter in place, as I find my emotions swinging everywhere in a moments time, from anxiety to fear to hope to anger to sadness to courage to gratitude to compassion to love, and all over again. You may be noticing these dramatic fluctuations yourself. Our minds are trying to understand and process what is happening in our world, and our spiritual practice is being sorely tested. We invite you to bring all of it onto Wednesday's dance and let it move through us.

We will use our dance to practice and cultivate sending energetic connection across space and time.

Wednesday, April 8th, is also the start of Passover here in America and how auspicious is that? It has been said that it is a “Liberation from our constraints. Passover is the time that gives power for the whole year for us to "leap over" our limitations: temporal, physical, and spiritual."
